Associative Design is a venture conceived by the<br />
Portuguese Association of Wood and <strong>Furniture</strong><br />
Industries (AIMMP). Given the burgeoning interest<br />
in and demand for design made in Portugal,<br />
Associative Design is actively promoting Portuguese<br />
brands and products, placing them at the center of<br />
the most discerning and distinguished international<br />
design markets.<br />
It was with this ambition that the AD Challenge’17<br />
was launched. Associative Design invited 15<br />
national and international designers to submit<br />
proposals for new innovative designs in furniture.<br />
The guidelines of the challenge are firstly the use<br />
of wood and secondly to work alongside furniture<br />
makers in the northern region of Portugal. With<br />
the ultimate goal being to encourage evolution in<br />
the Portuguese design industry. The results were<br />
showcase in an event, in the past 19th October at<br />
Âlfandega do Porto. The launch coincideded with<br />
the opening of Portugal Fashion.<br />

Bridge<br />
Desk<br />
The challenge launched by ASSOCIATIVE DESIGN was to<br />
design a piece that valued the use of wood. My challenge<br />
was to create a connection between the user and his work/<br />
hobby. This piece is an object inspired by the city of Porto<br />
the only city in Europe with 6 bridges.The bridge is the<br />
métaphore through which I would like to illustrate this union.<br />

Franco - Portuguese Designer,<br />
Christophe de Sousa was born in<br />
France in 1979. He spent part of<br />
his childhood and adolescence<br />
in French soil and has returned<br />
to Portugal with his family. This<br />
mixture of experiences allowed<br />
a broader view of the different<br />
cultures that serves, along with<br />
others, as their base of influence.<br />
He’s graduated in Industrial Design<br />
at the Universidade Lusíada in<br />
Oporto. Assumes himself as a<br />
passionate about the creative<br />
process and early learned that his<br />
path would have to pass through<br />
an area that would allow him to<br />
give wings to the imagination.His<br />
bigest ambition is to leave his mark<br />
in the world of Design, the ability to<br />
convey emotion through an object<br />
is, without doubt, the force that<br />
moves him. Obsessed with shapes<br />
and an amazing observer he sees in<br />
the details his greatest allies in the<br />
pursuit of perfection!<br />

Plug-in<br />
Modular high-tech furniture<br />
Plug-in is a versatile modular furniture system inspired<br />
by the computational concept of shape grammars,<br />
developed in the 1970s by George Stiny and James<br />
Gips. A generative shape grammar is a design system<br />
based on rules and steps, which allows the creation of<br />
multiple combinations of an alphabet of pre-determined<br />
modules. The user can customize each modular item<br />
according to translation and rotation movements.<br />
The multifunctional modules explore the connection<br />
between a low-tech material (wood) and high-tech<br />
components (Bluetooth control systems).<br />
The aesthetics were inspired by kinetic art (Optical Art),<br />
conferring a motion sense to the whole set.<br />

Digitalab<br />
DIGITALAB is an architectural office,<br />
design studio and creative lab,<br />
focused on both generative design<br />
and digital fabrication. It is a young,<br />
multidisciplinary practice led by<br />
Ana Fonseca and Brimet Silva, that<br />
develops projects in several fields:<br />
product design, art installation,<br />
interior design, architecture and<br />
digital research. DIGITALAB is<br />
committed to employing new<br />
technologies in the production of<br />
forms and spaces, exploring strategic<br />
combinations between generative<br />
processes (Computational design)<br />
and digital fabrication technologies<br />
(3D printing, CNC, laser-cutting and<br />
robotics). Their goal is to explore the<br />
potential of digital tools as creative<br />
weapons to transform pixels into<br />
atoms, and virtual processes into<br />
physical objects and environments.<br />

The connection of Portugal to the rooster have always<br />
been culturally intrinsic as one of the most iconic images<br />
of our country. This piece portrays a part of our culture<br />
in a sober and emotional object that creates interactivity<br />
in its exterior and a certain surprise effect in the interior.<br />
Like chickens, this piece of furniture rests on its eggs.<br />

In the beginning we were just<br />
one more architecture office that<br />
enjoyed integrating design furniture<br />
into our architecture projects. In<br />
this process, we were delighted by<br />
the furniture design as a practice.<br />
Meanwhile the contact with the art<br />
of woodworking, led us to realize<br />
that art is disappearing and should<br />
be preserved. So we decided to<br />
go further, creating a brand based<br />
on strong ideas, new concepts,<br />
originality and at the same time that<br />
explores the traditional techniques<br />
of Portuguese carpentry in order<br />
to perpetuate it. In the process of<br />
manufacturing, our modern creativity<br />
is then interlaced with the most<br />
precise and traditional woodworking<br />
techniques. Our furniture is<br />
handmade by craftsmen in a small<br />
centennial factory, one of the few<br />
remaining places where time serves<br />
quality and attention to detail. The<br />
final outcome is a multidisciplinary<br />
product that is 100% portuguese,<br />
exuding modernity and tradition.<br />

The good name of Portuguese<br />
Design lives in each object, with<br />
each telling a story of beauty and<br />
passion, ojectively recognising<br />
and registering the work of it’s<br />
course. The concepts of fluidity<br />
and simplicity are explored in<br />
juxtaposition with fibres and resins,<br />
in its unlimited functionality. To<br />
observe what it is produced, is<br />
a charm win over. To share and<br />
contribute with others is a ‘Moto’<br />
of inspiration. The conincidence<br />
between the Design and the<br />
work despondancy, became<br />
an opportunity for new project<br />
constructions. Ultimatly ‘That Place’<br />
is a story of love between two<br />
creative beings, the improbable<br />
combination between a mind of a<br />
Desinger and of an Engenier, has<br />
